This bug still re-appears in lucid. The underlying problem seems to be that /etc/init.d/failsafe-x.conf is in the wrong package. x11-common should know nothing about gdm and yet here is a gdm referencing file, so as soon as you stop using gdm 2.3, the system is broken. This file should be in the gdm package - along with its supporting cast of files, or perhaps in a separate package where there is need for common elements amongst display managers.
I came up against this problem with re-deploying gdm 2-20 in the lucid environment (to get multi-seat working). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491483 Title: Since failsafe-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used.
